Did you know?

  • In Spanish, you cannot use tú también to agree with a negative statement. Instead, you must use yo tampoco for 'me neither' or tú tampoco for 'you neither'.
  • The word también is built from the words for 'so' and 'well'. This makes it a direct structural parallel to the English phrase 'as well'.
  • While tú is the standard informal 'you', using it in certain regions of Spain or Latin America can be seen as overly intimate or even aggressive depending on the social hierarchy.
